the way these people exploit disasters for geopolitical rivalry and culture warring is disgusting. that Chinese nationalists and the US far right use the opportunity to spread the same misinformation tells you enough about their politics.

In a Beijing Daily op-ed, Bao Nan (鲍南) argues that, despite well-known fire risks, the LA fires represent a "completely man-made disaster" ("彻头彻尾的 '人祸'") for which US government cannot escape accountability. Bao: "The fire chief seemed more focused on LGBT initiatives."

This kind of stuff doesn't really rile up the West, or adequately and accurately draw the distinctions they want to make.
US is exp chaos through political opportunism, and infrastructure and logistics problems around the fires.
Things our lesbian fire chief understands well.
It's the system around it which Bao sort of skewers, but inexpertly-- why they should hire me to do it.
Bao doesn't really get it; he should be wooing USians, too.
